About easyJet
easyJet (IATA: U2) is one of Europe's largest low-cost carriers, widely regarded as one of the continent's "big three" budget airlines alongside Ryanair and Wizz Air. Recognizable by its bright orange livery, easyJet operates an extensive short-haul, point-to-point network connecting cities across Europe with high-frequency service and competitive fares.
Unlike traditional full-service carriers, easyJet does not rely on a single dominant hub. Instead, it operates from a network of major bases, with London Gatwick (LGW) and London Luton (LTN) as its largest UK bases, alongside significant bases in Milan, Geneva, Amsterdam, Berlin, and other European cities. easyJet uses unbundled, à la carte pricing — fares include only a small cabin bag, with checked baggage, larger cabin bags, and seat selection offered as optional extras. FareOptic compares easyJet fares across its network to help you find the lowest total price for your trip.

Larger Cabin Bag Allowance
easyJet Plus includes a larger cabin bag allowance, reducing the need to pay separately for hold baggage on short trips.
easyJet Baggage Policy
easyJet uses unbundled pricing — most bags beyond a small under-seat item are paid add-ons. Fees vary by route and how far in advance they're purchased.
| Bag / Policy | Standard Fare | easyJet Plus / Bundle |
|---|---|---|
| Small cabin bag (under-seat) | Included | Included |
| Larger cabin bag (overhead) | Paid add-on | Included |
| 1st checked bag (up to 23kg) | Paid add-on | Paid add-on (discounted) |
| Seat selection | Paid add-on | Included |
All bags beyond the free small cabin bag are paid add-ons on easyJet. Adding bags at booking is cheaper than at the airport. Verify current prices at easyjet.com.

Tips to Book Cheap easyJet Flights
- 1.Book early — easyJet fares generally rise as the departure date approaches and seats fill up.
- 2.Only add the bags and seats you actually need; the base fare is cheapest when you skip optional extras.
- 3.Add checked baggage during booking rather than at the airport, where fees are significantly higher.
- 4.Midweek flights (Tuesday, Wednesday) are typically cheaper than weekend departures on popular European routes.
- 5.Compare easyJet against Ryanair and Wizz Air for the same city pair — fares and included baggage can differ significantly.
- 6.If you fly frequently, an easyJet Plus membership can pay for itself through free seat selection and priority boarding.
- 7.Set fare alerts on FareOptic for your route — easyJet frequently runs seasonal sales on short-haul European routes.
- 8.Consider nearby secondary airports (e.g., Luton instead of Heathrow) since easyJet often offers lower fares there.
